Protection from radiation-induced neuroanatomical deficits by CCL2-deficiency is dependent on sex
Description
This project investigated the impact of Ccl2 genotype status (+/+, +/-, -/-) on the brain structure changes induced by cranial radiation. Mn-enhanced MR images were acquired at P14, P23, P42, P63 and P98. Radiation (7-Gy) was delivered on P16 to the whole head, with a lead shield used to limit dose to the rest of the body. Further details are available in the manuscript.
For the image processing, the registration was accomplished using the pydpiper toolkit (version 2.0.9), available on GitHub (https://github.com/Mouse-Imaging-Centre/pydpiper/tree/v2.0.9). A two-level registration was used. Key elements of that registration output are provided in this data posting.

Grant funding support was provided the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Brain Canada and the Azrieli Foundation, and the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research through funding provided by the Government of Ontario.
